SYNOPSIS (OPIS)

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

It seems like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whorm I'd never been able to forget—even though he so easily forget about me—and call him.

Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you've had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions.

I didn't think he'd call me back.

I ceetainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexsually tense phone conversation that followed as I got to know the man he'd become.

Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn't know. And he had his own secret.

Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.

A complete standalone.

Najbolj prodajana pisateljica na lestvici New York Times Bestseller Penelope Ward, nam obljublja nov seksi samostojen roman.

Ta trenutek se zdi to odlična ideja. Poklicati Landona Rodericka, fanta iz otroštva katerega nisem mogla pozabiti, čeprav me je on pozabil.

Ko pred spanjem popiješ preveč vina, se vse zdi odlična ideja. To naj bi bil hiter, brez pomenski in šaljiv klic. Namesto tega sem mu izpovedala vsa svoja čustva, ki sem jih v teh trinajstih letih zadrževala v sebi.

Nisem pomislila, da me bo poklical nazaj.

Nikoli si nisem mislila, da bom čutila seksualno napetost po telefonskih pogovorih, ki sva jih imela. Preko pogovorov sem spoznala moškega kakršen je postal.

Izkazalo se je, da tudi Landon ni nikoli pozabil name. Posebna vez med nama je še vedno prisotna. Zaupala sem mu, ampak so bile določene stvari o meni za katere ni vedel. Tudi on je imel svoje skrivnosti.

Po vseh teh telefonskih pogovorih, sem razmišljala kaj bi se zgodilo, če bi se dejansko srečala. Neko noč sem storila nekaj čisto nagonskega. Odšla sem na letališče in kupila vozovnico do Kalifornije. Morava ugotoviti, ali bo telefonski klic povezal dve izgubljeni duši. Ali pa je bil ta pijanski telefonski klic samo napaka.

Drunk dial je samostojna knjiga.

EXCERPT (ODLOMEK)

After that evening, I hadn’t heard back from him for a few days.

Then, one night, a text came in from the same phone number I recognized as Landon’s. It was the first time he’d texted me.

I looked down to find he’d sent a photo.

I gasped.

It was a heavily tatted man set against the backdrop of the ocean at sunset. Oh, my. It was him—a selfie.

Fuck. Me. He was beautiful.

I wouldn’t have even known it was Landon were it not for the blue eyes I recognized instantly. The shaggy, caramel hair I remembered from the past was now a darker shade of brown and shorter, cropped closer to his head. His arms and his chest were inked, his body so perfect that if I squinted, it almost resembled carved stone.

I couldn’t stop looking at him. My eyes wanted nothing more than to explore the ridges and valleys of his stunning body.

Was this a cruel joke?

This was not Landon!

But, it was.

With my thumb and middle finger, I kept zooming in and out, examining the details of the ink across his chest and on his arms. There was really nothing sexier than a guy with perfect arms and a full sleeve tattoo.

Even though his lips seemed fuller than I recalled, they still curved into a familiar grin that oozed confidence. The eyes and that smile were the only traces of the boy I remembered. I wished I could’ve leapt through the screen to smell him, touch him.

“Hi, Landon,” I whispered, for a brief moment talking to the boy inside, not the man in front of me.

This Landon was the polar opposite of the Ivy League yuppie image previously in my head. The only thing the man pictured might have majored in was badassery. He looked like a rockstar, a rule breaker, displaying a sense of arousing danger—someone who must have had women from all walks of life drooling over him for the sheer fact that either they couldn’t have him or shouldn’t have him. It suddenly became clear why, as he’d alluded to, a woman might have been begging him for sex. That made me wonder if he had any secret tattoos in spots I wasn’t allowed to see.

God.

A fire was burning inside of me, and I knew it was my crush exploding into a full-blown obsession.

A self-conscious feeling came over me. If I was scared to show him a picture of myself before, now I was really hesitant.

The message that went along with the photo simply read:

Now show me you.
